Divorce

Live so that
“ Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you” ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Divorce is messy and hard and no one goes through it unscathed. However minimizing the stress and despair is allows you to put your life back on track. I have been through a divorce, I felt broken at times and unable to feel like I was in control. Looking back I wish someone had told me not to waste my energy on the things I couldn’ t control. Don’ t get me wrong, I’ m not talking about letting things go that aren’ t important but asking yourself, if what you’ re upset about is something you have control over. I spent so much time trying to change my former husband, the truth was that if he had been doing the things I wanted, we might still be married( well not really, but you get what I am saying) We have to learn the power and the beauty of letting go. The sooner we can learn to master our emotions the happier we will be. One of the best things you can do for yourself and your kids is learn how to do this.
We are limited in what we can control, but limited or not, we can control the most
Is Your Life Changing? magazine when your children think of fairness, caring and integrity, they think of you
important thing in life and that is choice. We have the ability to choose how we are going to react to any given situation. We may not control what happens around us or to us but we can certainly control what we do about it. So,“ How do we do that? The best answer I can give you is to knowyourself and how you react. If you’ re a reactive person, which means you say and do whatever comes to you in the heat of the moment. Ask yourself if that is really working out for you? Or do you spend time criticizing yourself, or constantly apologizing for your actions. If you know this about yourself and you want to change it so it makes your life easier, guess what? You can, it’ s all about choice. You can start now, just remind yourself that you always get to choose how you react. You are going to get mad, be hurt, feel like your raging and feel broken, you might feel all these emotions at the same time. One thing you can know for sure that it’ s ok to feel the way you feel, it’ s important to acknowledge the way you feel and then decide how you are going to react. ivo

Every Day Living Ashley Strachan
Have you ever felt like you were alone, struggling in the everyday world around you? Frustrated inside your heart at financial problems due to your career choice? Tired of the same evening arguments with your spouse?
Everyday living should be something you enjoy. Life should be full of spark and innocence like when you were a child playing with friends. Remember that feeling of freedom without a care in the world? How did you lose that? What happened?
My name is Ashley Strachan and I have created a program that helps us break down your life into specific categories. Together, I can show you how to work through areas in your Primary Foods to bring peace to your physical body through Secondary Foods. Removing the negative thought of having to cook dinner after a long day and finding an easy way out by ordering pizza, will soon be replaced with you and your family experimenting with delicious green stalks of kale or even purchasing fresh eggs from the local farmer.

My number one passion is empowering individuals – showing them how to love and feel good about themselves. How to be physically and mentally stronger so that they are able to embrace rather than dislike their bodies. Self-confidence, self-esteem, taking pride in who you are as a unique person – these are all things that can make one’ s life so much more enjoyable. It is definitely a process to learn such things but I am in the profession I am because it allows me to assist individuals in this process.
I live for moments when clients look at themselves in the mirror for the first time while working out, or when they send me photos of healthy meals they are proud to have made. Helping to facilitate the process of learning to do things that make one feel good is incredibly rewarding. I genuinely care about the mental, physical, and spiritual health of others and have made it my mission to leave people feeling better than they were before interacting with me.
A few things I have learned in my 27 years that I would share with others would be: Be kind to yourself and to others. Practice empathy, love, respect, and compassion, in regards to yourself as well as others, instead of jealousy, judgment, and ridicule. I have experienced over and over that Karma rules the universe – remember this with every word you speak and action you make. Finally, never ask or expect someone to do something that you would not do yourself.
Hearing a simple‘ thank you,’ or sparking a genuine smile or laugh are all I need to stay motivated. Seeing the progression and success of the individuals who ask for my assistance is what drives my energy and passion to continue empowering, motivating, and inspiring others to treat their bodies to nothing but the best. of positive energy,
STRONG BODY, MIND, & SPIRIT
Primary Food = your day to day routine. Example: work, going to the gym or even spirituality. Secondary Food = your actual nourishment from the food you eat.
Your sleep patterns may begin to find a schedule and your digestion might even be more regular once you have learned how to get a hold of the stress and negative areas in your primary life. Who knew your poop is a way for your body to ask for help?!
Here is what two of my clients have to say about my program:“ After having four kids, my body is not what it used to be. I spent years exercising at a gym with no results. I have gained so much with the Ashley Lydia Health and Wellness program. I gained respect for my body and my mind, and knowledge about fitness and personal growth.”( Bonnie Kurash)
“ Ashley was a great support through my journey. She taught me to keep moving, even when I wanted to give up. Through this 9 week challenge I lost 12.5 inches of my entire body and gained the motivation and energy to get off the couch and do the physical things that I dreaded before. I enjoy going to the gym and can’ t wait to help others in my life with the tools and knowledge Ashley has given me.”( June Lloy)
Let me show you how to take control and find that childlike innocence again. Learn to laugh and find light in the situation. Breathe away the negative and live your everyday life that YOU have dreamed of living from now on.

Shawn Winters reports“ We had a project where we were welding caps on piles before installation. I had a conversation with Charlie Street on how to make it work. With Charlie’ s design and the assistance of William Gonzalez we put the design to manufacturing. Jeff Frost took the design to Hector Ibarra to make a shop drawing. This was all done in a very quick fashion and every department helped with getting it done so install would be easy. The driver fit like a glove, had no issues, and made us look very good on site. The client was impressed. the
Thoughts on Relationship Chains From Jeff Lloyd
At Almita we are looking to capitalize on business opportunities through the chain of relationships that exist with all our employees.
Almita
A professor at the Poznan University of Economics in Poland, Milena Ratajczak- Mrozek, has studied the effects of relationships through business networks. She says“ Networks may be a source of many potential benefits for a company, which in turn may contribute to its growth and competitiveness.” Specifically she identifies the benefits derived from building relationships within business networks as including:

The Chain of Relationships
You never know when or where your chain of relationships will take you. In this issue of the Piper we look at three interesting examples where relationships led to new work & new opportunities for Almita.
In this issue of the Piper we see three examples of how nurturing our networks and developing new relationships can pay off in surprising ways. Whenever we develop business relationships, we are sowing seeds for the future— and we never know when they will sprout and grow.
Personally, I try to develop and maintain my own network by making contact with people frequently. I like to connect on a personal level and focus on things other than work. Depending on the situation I may arrange to do something together like golf, skiing, or biking.
When I’ m dealing with clients, I like to have something of value to offer them. It doesn’ t have to be a“ thing”— I might ask them to phone me if any aspect of their relationship with Almita is not meeting their expectations. Or I might invite them to our office, or go and see them in their on site at their project.
